In the current global energy shortage situation, energy conservation is an important issue facing us. LED is called a new generation of green light source, and its advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, long life, etc., make the LED lighting industry become a green industry that countries pay attention to. In view of the increasing maturity and rapid development of LED lighting technology, in order to regulate the emerging market of LED lighting, some important LED regional markets in the world have launched relevant technical regulations or standards, which have imposed mandatory certification requirements on the application of LED lighting products. .
1. EU market
The EU is a key market for the export of LED lighting products in China. LED body lighting products entering the EU market should mainly consider its mandatory requirements: the safety requirements stipulated in the Low Voltage Directive and its harmonized standards, the electromagnetic compatibility requirements stipulated in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and its harmonized standards, the environmental requirements in the RoHS & WEEE Directive, and ErP The energy efficiency requirements specified in the directive. In addition, semiconductor lighting products also need to comply with the conformity assessment procedures stipulated by the corresponding regulations. Only in this way can the CE mark be affixed and enter the EU market smoothly.
Among them, the safety requirements for semiconductor lighting products to enter Europe mainly include the following aspects:
â— For the safety of LED modules: they should meet the safety requirements of EN 62031, and the LED module connectors must meet the corresponding requirements in EN 60838-2-2
â— For electronic control devices in LED lighting equipment: it should meet the corresponding safety requirements in EN 61347-1 and EN 61347-2-13;
â— For the optical radiation safety of the equipment: it should meet the corresponding requirements in EN 62471;
â— For self-ballasted LED lights: should comply with the relevant requirements in EN 60968;
â— For LED lamps: should comply with the safety requirements of the corresponding lamp standards in the EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2 series.
â— EMF requirements should also meet the requirements of the evaluation standard EN 62493 for lighting equipment involving human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
In addition, LED lighting products must comply with the requirements of the European Union ’s Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/108 / EC), which is the same as general lighting equipment. The EU ’s EMC requirements for LED lighting products are divided into electromagnetic disturbance, immunity, harmonic current and voltage fluctuations Four aspects. In terms of environmental protection, EU regulations related to LED lamps are mainly the "Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic and Electrical Equipment" (RoHS, 2002/95 / EC) and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE, 2002/96 / EC), which separately stipulates the limits of hazardous substances and the requirements for the recycling of waste products.
The EU energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products are mainly reflected in the "Framework Directive on the Development of Energy-related Product Ecological Design Requirements" (ErP Directive). At present, for LED lighting products, the energy efficiency requirements of non-directional LED general lighting products are in accordance with the ErP Directive Implementation Regulation (EU) No 244/2009 requirements, other performance requirements refer to the implementation regulations (EU) No 1194/2012 requirements. The energy efficiency requirements and performance requirements for directional LED lights should be in accordance with the requirements of the Implementation Regulation (EU) No 1194/2012. In addition, LED lighting products should also meet the corresponding energy efficiency label requirements. (EU) No 874/2012 regulation is the implementation of the new energy efficiency labeling framework directive 2010/30 / EU on lamps and luminaires. It is applicable to incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, high-intensity gas discharge lamps, LED lamps and LED modules, as well as In order to operate such lamps and provide them to end consumers, the lamps (including lamps integrated into other products) have required labeling requirements. The regulations clarify the responsibilities that suppliers and distributors should bear for efficient labeling and product information. The regulations will come into effect on September 1, 2013, and the current energy efficiency labeling directive for household electric light sources 98/11 / EC will also be issued in September 2013. Abolished from the 1st of January.
2. The Japanese market
Japan is an important global LED industry base. Its technology level and output value are ahead of other countries, and it controls most of the LED high-end market. In terms of LED standards, Japan is also ahead of other countries, and the earliest testing standards for white LEDs were developed. To enter the Japanese market, LED lighting products must first meet the requirements of the "Electrical Appliance Safety Law" and its related implementation regulations. At present, the main control of the LED products under the "Electrical Supplies Safety Law" is the power module. If the power supply is external, it needs to be tested according to J61347-2-13 (that is, JIS C 61347-2-13). Diamond PSE logo. In terms of electromagnetic compatibility, it is necessary to meet the mandatory J55015 standard.
Starting from July 1, 2012, LED bulbs and LED light fixtures sold in the Japanese market will be regulated by the "Electrical Appliances Safety Law", and a round PSE mark must be affixed. The range of LED products under control is limited to a rated voltage of 100 to 300V. LED lamps and bulbs with rated power greater than 1W using 50Hz and 60Hz AC circuits. Some desk lamps, rechargeable flashlights, advertising lamps, decorative lamps, portable lamps, etc. and gardens use LEDs as light sources, but they are not classified as "LED lamps". Japan's LED product certification safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards currently have only one provincial order, and two provincial standards have not yet been issued. Therefore, the IEC standards related to LEDs are not within the scope of the "Electrical Appliance Safety Law". Starting from July 1, 2012, the most feasible and cost-effective method is to manufacture LED light bulbs and LED light fixtures based on the technical standard of the Japanese provincial order 1.
3. The Mexican market
In recent years, Mexico has begun to attach importance to the green energy industry and actively develop green energy to make it an important emerging industry. Since September 1, 2011, the Mexican government announced the official implementation of lighting energy-saving plans in the country. Mexico plans to gradually replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps by 2014. Mexico is a large energy consumer and its LED lighting market is huge.
For LED lighting products, NOM certification in terms of safety and energy efficiency is a mandatory requirement for their entry into the Mexican market. At present, NOM has not made corresponding requests for electromagnetic compatibility. Regardless of whether the products are locally manufactured or imported in Mexico, they must comply with the relevant NOM standards and product labeling requirements.
Mexico's LED lighting safety requirements are mainly stipulated by the NOM-003-SCFI-2000 standard. This standard relates to the safety requirements of electrical products and is a framework specification. It does not specify specific technical requirements. It must pass the NMX-J-521 / 1-ANCE-2005 standard test, which is mainly based on IEC 60335-1 : Safety of household and similar electrical appliances + Mexican deviation. At the same time, LED lighting products must meet the consumer information required by NOM-024-SCFI-1998.
In order to meet the country's energy efficiency requirements for lighting products, LED lighting products must pass the Mexican mandatory energy efficiency certification to enter the Mexican market. The certification is implemented by a certification body approved by the Mexican Authorized Recognition Organization (EMA) and is part of Mexico ’s mandatory product certification. Products that are subject to compulsory performance certification must be certified and affixed with an energy efficiency label that reflects the energy consumption of the product before they can be sold in Mexico.
4. American market
The United States is one of the most developed regions in the global LED industry and China's largest export market. The United States has always been a world leader in the formulation of LED standards and specifications. In addition to the relatively complete safety and electromagnetic compatibility specifications that have been formed, the American Electrical Manufacturers Association and the North American Lighting Association have also formulated relevant electrical, Requirements and test methods for photometric and chromaticity.
The American market's safety requirements for semiconductor lighting products are mainly reflected in LED modules, control modules, power supplies, lamps and related accessories. Among them, UL 8750 provides detailed safety requirements for LED modules, control modules, and power supplies. In addition, power supply safety can also refer to the corresponding regulations in UL 1310, UL1012, or UL 60950-1. And UL 1598, UL 1993, UL 1574 and other series of UL standards related to traditional lighting equipment have put forward safety regulations for semiconductor lighting end products.
For electromagnetic compatibility requirements, for LED lighting products, if the product uses a switching power supply as the power supply, and the operating frequency of the power supply is greater than 9 kHz, that is, the operating frequency of the LED lighting product is greater than 9 kHz (before rectification), then it must meet the FCC Part 18 requirements; if the power supply operating frequency is less than 9 kHz or DC power supply is used, FCC Part 15 applies.
The US Federation has not yet introduced mandatory performance efficiency requirements for LED lighting products, but the "Energy Star Program", which has a large influence in the world, has major energy-saving requirements for LED lighting products and certification programs for LED lighting products and LED light engines. Regulations and three parts for integrated LED lamp certification, including solid-state lamp certification program for the life, luminous flux maintenance rate, correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering (CR), dimming, power factor (PF) of directional and non-directional lamps , Instantaneous protection, current crest factor, operating frequency, noise, electromagnetic compatibility and other general requirements, then the initial light effect of non-directional household lamps, directional household lamps, directional commercial lamps, etc., the minimum initial beam of light source and the interval lumen density are detailed Regulations. Integral LED lamp certification stipulates the requirements for standard and non-standard lamps for integral LED lamps.
